A raging flame suddenly burst into flames in the dark alley, and the hot fire swallowed up the bodies on the ground in an instant.
Qin Yun looked back at the alley that was brightly lit by the fire. Hearing the hurried footsteps and noisy voices from not far away, he hung the sheathed sword on his back and quickly disappeared down the long street.
the end of.
The long night passed quietly.
The deaths of the five local snakes did not cause much disturbance. The patrol in Lingyang City used the objects found from the remains of the deceased to determine their identities. The case file was simply classified as a vendetta and then shelved. At most, it was left in the tavern.
Just one more new topic to talk about.
On the morning of the next day, Qin Yun left the hotel where he lived and left Lingyang City for Shiwanda Mountain.
Although it is the middle of winter, the cold current from the north seems to have lost its majesty here. The towering mountains are lush and forested, and there is no sign of withering or decay at all.
Following the mountain paths taken by his predecessors, Qin Yun gradually went deeper into the mountains.
The styles of Shiwanda Mountain and Manglong Mountain are very different. The mountains here are not very high, and there are not so many steep peaks. However, the woods in the mountains cover the sky, and there are many underground rivers, valleys, and waterfalls. In addition,
The intricate mountain trails and animal trails make it easy to get lost if you are not familiar with the terrain.
Even though Qin Yun carried a map with him, he almost got lost several times.
When you first enter the mountain, you can see that many mountains have been opened up with layers of terraces. Even in winter, there are mountain farmers working among them. Occasionally, you can see warrior swordsmen who entered the mountain like Qin Yun.
But when he got deep into the mountains, he could no longer see a single person, only the endless virgin forest. After trekking through mountains and rivers from morning to evening, Qin Yun only encountered two groups of wild boars and a few pheasants.
This is normal, because Qin Yun deliberately avoided the Miao village on the map, and the possibility of encountering monsters and beasts in the outer areas of the mountains was extremely low. If he wanted to gain something, he had to go deeper and deeper.
When night fell again, Qin Yun stopped and found a clean cave to camp.
After making a simple spiritual arrangement at the entrance of the cave, he calmed down and started today's practice.
Because he was in a dangerous mountain, Qin Yun did not open the world of Small Universe and concentrated on practicing the Haoran Righteousness Art.
He has mastered a lot of the essence of this ancient qi refining heart formula. However, it is not easy to practice it. For nearly two hours, he spent most of his dantian true energy, but he only condensed a few wisps of awe-inspiring aura.
This secret technique seems to be easy to learn but difficult to master. It is not difficult to practice. Once you understand the secret, you will be able to perform the exercises smoothly and freely. However, the final result is dumbfounding. You get very little with twice the effort and half the effort.
This problem has always existed, but even Xu Jingye, who helped Qin Yun write the annotations of the book, couldn't explain it, because he had never been exposed to similar Qi refining methods. He just told Qin Yun not to be anxious and slowly practice in practice.
To understand.
The practice had no effect, so Qin Yun did not force himself. He stopped practicing and thought carefully about the scene that night.
During the fierce battle with Tu Wanxiong, Qin Yun's Qinggang Sword was destroyed. In desperation, he could only take out the Tianwen Sword from the Qiankun Space and use his blood to sacrifice the sword to forcefully activate the sword energy.
It was at that moment that he realized the existence of Haoran's righteousness, and with the help of the generated Haoran's energy, he established a connection with the Tianwen Sword Spirit, and thus successfully activated the Great Freedom Sword Intent, killing Tu Wanxiong in one fell swoop!
At that time, his understanding of Haoran's Righteous Qi Jue was not as good as it is now, but the aura condensed in an instant was far better than the result of painstaking practice now, which made Qin Yun feel a little incredible.
Thinking carefully about it, Qin Yun recalled the stern righteousness Xu Jingye showed when he rebuked Tu Wanxiong, which was clearly the same as Haoran's righteousness, and he had never practiced the Qi refining method at all.
The two memories corresponded to each other, and Qin Yun gradually gained a sense of enlightenment in his heart.
Cultivating Haoran's righteousness may not require practicing as hard as Nine Yang Xuan Gong day and night. What it requires is the understanding of the heart secrets, which is the so-called "heart enlightenment"!
But how can we regain the feeling and understanding at that time? Qin Yun fell into deep thinking.
Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind.
Driven by an inexplicable impulse, Qin Yun activated a rarely used magical ability - psychic possession, and carefully searched for the soul sealed in the Qiankun Sky-Mending Stone!
He didn't know how much time had passed before a memory suddenly jumped out and instantly occupied his entire sea of consciousness.
Time passed by, and Qin Yun felt that he had gone back to the distant past. At that time, he was just an ignorant schoolboy. Under the guidance of his teacher, he studied hard, and after ten years of hard work, he succeeded in one move and became famous all over the world and entered the court.
At that time, he was full of passion and righteousness, and swore to serve the king and benefit the people. However, the king had no justice and favored charlatans, corrupt officials and villains, and his ideals were severely damaged in reality.
But he did not sink or join in the evil. He wrote articles with skillful hands and shouldered the responsibility of morality, until finally he used his own life to dissuade the king from killing the people, and crashed his head on the dragon stone pillar to death!
Decades of time suddenly solidified in the moment when the blood was splashed, with grief, anger, heroism, but no regrets!
Qin Yun suddenly opened his eyes, his dark eyes flashing with a captivating light.
His heart was filled with endless righteousness, and the memory of the Confucian and Taoist master who once owned the Heaven-Mending Stone was still lingering in his sea of consciousness.
A majestic aura rose from Dantian, and countless golden words swirled in Qin Yun's sea of consciousness.
Without Qin Yun's deliberate urging, the Haoran Zhengqi Jue operates on its own, absorbing a large amount of Dantian Qi like a giant whale drawing water, turning it into a mighty Haoran Qi, which travels through the meridians and acupoints and reaches all the limbs and bones!
Powerful, pure, broad, and vast!
He recalled the unforgettable memory over and over again. The aura of awe-inspiring energy circulated continuously and became stronger and stronger. It circulated throughout the body and returned to the dantian again. Finally, it condensed into a dazzling true seed, which complemented the Nine Yang Fire Seed in the dantian.
!
Success!
Qin Yun couldn't suppress the joy in his heart, and immediately broke away from the state of psychic possession. The memory in the sea of consciousness slowly dissipated, but the true seed in his body was immortal, which meant that he had crossed the ancient discipline of cultivation.
The biggest difficulty in Qi Xin Jue!
Haoran Zhengqi Jue is indeed a method of understanding the heart!
Once the True Seed is complete, as long as he continues to use Haoran's righteous energy to warm and nourish him, he will one day be able to reach Dacheng. With the existence of the True Seed, he can extract the Haoran's Qi from it at any time to protect his body, defend himself, and attack and defeat the enemy!
The most important thing is that Qin Yun finally mastered the method of stimulating Haoran's righteousness. The originally useless small magical power, psychic possession, has undoubtedly become an extremely important ability.
With a thought in his mind, Qin Yun took out the Tianwen Sword from the universe space and held it in his hand, urging the remaining righteousness in the meridians to inject into the sword body, without any reservation!
This time, not only did Tian Wenjian not resist at all, but instead, like a glutton that had been hungry for thousands of years, it swallowed up all the breath that was injected into it.
Qin Yun clearly felt that the connection between his soul and the sword spirit was getting closer.
Although this change was very small, he knew very well that he had found the right way to warm up the sword spirit and finally fully master the Tianwen Sword in his hands - the aura of Haoran and the aura of the Tianwen Sword Spirit perfectly matched each other!
Unfortunately, the innate true essence in Qin Yun's Qihai Dantian has been almost exhausted by catalyzing Haoran's righteousness just now. Haoran's true seed has just been condensed and cannot be used. The small amount of Haoran's energy in the body is obviously unable to meet the needs of Tianwen Sword.
When he took this magic weapon back into the universe, Qin Yun seemed to hear its unwilling sound!
………
Three days later.
Qin Yun stood on the rock on the top of the mountain, looking around and comparing the map in his hand.
The pines under his feet were like a sea, stretching into the distance with no end in sight. The strong mountain wind blew by, causing waves in the sea of trees. The scene was extremely spectacular!
After four days of trekking over mountains and ridges, Qin Yun went hundreds of miles deep into the Shiwan Mountains to the southwest. He had already entered a dangerous area and encountered many ferocious monsters along the way.
However, the low-level monsters did not pose much of a threat to Qin Yun now, and they turned into souls under the sword one after another. Their appearance only added some valuable inner elixir materials to Qin Yun's universe space.
However, Qin Yun did not complete any of the sect tasks he took on when he came to Shiwan Mountain to practice. The black-spotted Ganoderma lucidum that is a hundred years old and the star-patterned red fruit that is more than ten years old are obviously not things that can be found casually.
Qin Yun also promised his master Shui Wanning to hunt for her two high-quality demonic beast inner elixirs.
Rubbing his frown, Qin Yun took out the map of the cave ruins that he had accidentally obtained.
After comparing the two maps together, he found that the cave was not very far away from him, but in the same area, the fallen warrior wrote an "extremely dangerous" warning mark on the big map!
Qin Yun was a little hesitant, wondering whether he should first look for the black-spotted Ganoderma lucidum and the star-patterned red fruit, or simply go to the cave ruins to find out what was going on, maybe there would be something special to gain.
After thinking about it, he put away the two maps and planned to go to a place called Wild Beast Canyon marked on the map first, because black-spotted Ganoderma lucidum usually grows in wet places, and the steeper and more steep it is.
The higher the canyon walls, the more likely you are to find them.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Just as Qin Yun was about to leave, he suddenly saw many birds startling in the woods not far from the mountain. They neighed in terror and fled in all directions.
Qin Yun could still clearly hear the roar of wild beasts coming from over there, and the roar contained an unspeakable ferocity!
Monster?
Sounds like a big guy!
Qin Yun's eyes flashed, and he immediately spread out his body skills and flew towards the direction of the sound! rq
